...goodies at Düsseldorf's Breiden-bacherhof has the sun of Spain on her shoulders and the patois of Provence on her tongue. As the young executive floats around in the revolving television tower at Stuttgart, with its lofty restaurant-lounge, he gives only occasional thought to die Flucht-the flight before the Russians 18 years ago-and other hideous memories of an early era. On Berlin's Kudamm, which Christopher Isherwood would never recognize, Germans twist-and twist and twist-though they live skin-close to the Communists. In Hamburg, Max Schmeling is proud...
Washington's present position is that this must remain a U.S. responsibility. While the majority of Europeans might be willing to leave it at that, the Gaullist argument that in the 20th century only the possession of nuclear weapons can make a nation truly sovereign, simply will not die down.

...soldiers never die, and Marlene Dietrich, 58, hardly fades at all. So when 5,000 veterans of Viscount Montgomery's El Alamein campaign got together in London for a reunion, who better to entertain the troops than the old desert queen herself?

With a sigh, the touring novelist settled back for the onslaught. Would he talk about Steinbeck? "I'd rather die." J. D. Salinger? "He had an appalling effect on my children." Is there any hope for the U.S.? "If I didn't believe in America, I'd cut my throat tonight." Finally Steinbeck exploded: "Is there any way I can pry the tops off your heads...
...been learning to correct many cases of the innumerable inborn defects of the heart. But one form of heart trouble has defied all their skill and ingenuity. Called total transposition of the great vessels, it is devastating in its effects on the victim. Half the babies born with it die within a month, and only a very few survive to reach a severely handicapped adolescence. But last week a team of Cincinnati surgeons reported to the American Heart Association that they had performed a corrective operation on a girl only ten weeks old. Now, seven months later, she is developing...
